Another fine, fun instalment of the Women of the Otherworld series in which Paige Winterbourne, our witch heroine from Dime Store Magic, is drawn into a case where she must help the Cabals (sort of like the Mob, but with magic and nicer headquarters).

While I'm nowhere near as fond of Paige as I am of Elena, she's still a good character and I do enjoy reading things from her point of view, especially as she's not in such a closed environment as the werewolf pack and we therefore see her interact with a much wider range of supernaturals (including a druid deity, ghosts, necromancers that are nowhere near as annoying as Anita Blake, and some pretentious vampires who have let Anne Rice go to their heads) and find out about many of the 'rules' which govern the Otherworld. This book also allows for a far greater overlap with the characters we met in previous books and I really enjoyed how they popped up (all in service of the plot), although that did also make me miss Elena and Clay a little more than I would have normally (and Lucas definitely suffers from comparison to Clay, in my eyes).

I'm really enjoying this series and look forward to reading more; it looks like the next instalment might be from Eve's (Savannah's dead mother) point of view, which should be interesting, and I'm also hoping we might get more Cassandra at some point as she is one that I definitely want to hear more from.
